MindsEye: New GTA-Style Gameplay Trailer, $60 Price, Content Plan Unveiled

Build A Rocket Boy, the visionary studio behind MindsEye, has unveiled a captivating new trailer for the game, along with a confirmed launch date of June 10, 2025. The game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store at a competitive price of $59.99. This pricing represents a welcome break from the increasingly common $70-$80 price tags for AAA titles, positioning MindsEye as an accessible yet premium gaming experience.

Set in the futuristic city of Redrock, MindsEye promises a compelling linear story campaign where players take on the role of Jacob Diaz, a former soldier grappling with fragmented memories from his enigmatic MindsEye neural implant. As Diaz, players will unravel a gripping conspiracy involving rogue AI, corporate avarice, a rogue military, and a looming threat that endangers humanity's survival. The narrative is enhanced by state-of-the-art visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, ensuring a visually stunning journey.

In addition to its story-driven campaign, MindsEye introduces an innovative PC-only game creation system, allowing players to craft their own experiences using the game's assets. This feature adds a layer of creativity and replayability, setting MindsEye apart in the gaming landscape.

For your $59.99, you'll receive a wealth of content at launch, including the main linear story campaign, single-player free roam, and a variety of missions such as the horde mode "Destruction Site Shootout," and combat missions "Honor Amongst Thieves" and "Friendly Fire." Additionally, players can enjoy six standard races, six checkpoint races, and three drone races. Those who opt for the premium pass will gain access to an extra horde mode mission and an exotic cosmetics pack.

The pricing of video games continues to be a hot topic within the industry, with recent moves by Nintendo and Microsoft to set $80 price points for their titles. Meanwhile, other successful mid-range games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and 2K's upcoming Mafia: The Old Country have thrived at the $50 mark. MindsEye, with its $59.99 price, strikes a balance, offering high-quality content at a more approachable price point.

Premium pass owners will continue to receive exclusive missions and new content packs throughout the year.
